dicted much too quickly, he said.
He said if El Niño conditions evolve
in the second half of the year, important
changes will include:
x Drier biases in India and
Southeast Asia
x Wetter biased conditions in Westcentral Africa
x Timely rain in the CIS New Lands
Region
x A larger area of dryness in China
"Western hemisphere changes will
not be very great," he said. "But dryness
in the Central United States will likely
be minimized while South America and

a few changes to the summer outlook
will result. First, the Western Canadian

Prairies may experience a drier and
warmer bias, and some of that will extend in the northwestern U.S. Plains.
Also, if this occurs, he said it would
result in a wetter-biased pattern in the
U.S. Midwest and part of the Central
Plains, with temperatures trending a
little cooler over time. The Delta and
Southeastern U.S. would likely have
the greatest bout of dryness in this scenario, Lerner said, but only if El Niño
is fully in place by the start of the summer. "So far, that outlook seems a little
doubtful," he said.
